🎉🎉CLIENT FEEDBACK🎉🎉

A great result achieved for a well-deserving client due to a team effort including our wonderful colleagues at Roach Corporate Law ✊

For anybody who needs the hear this today ❤️

Keep looking ahead.

Keep going forward.

Forward (and now) is where it’s all happening.

No one’s ever been able to make something that’s already happened, not happen.

So keep going.

Try focusing on what’s going well, what’s working and what’s possible.

Here’s to taking the windshield view more often than the rear view.

Love, Madhavi Nawana Parker

// Meet a Member! Meg McFarlane at Kin Lawyers Pty Ltd

"Meg is one half of the lady lawyer duo at Kin Lawyers with a focus on people and their relationships.

Meg likes: getting to the point of things, visiting her second home of Morocco, marvelling at the insatiable energy of her child, being in a room with cleverer/funnier/kinder people (but reminding herself she’s ok too!), and being home by 8:30pm to watch ABC crime drama (even though everything is on demand now). She will always be down for a 6pm dinner reservation (or better yet, 5pm opening!)

Meg dislikes: writing bios, not being able to read a really good book again “for the first time” after she’s finished it, her email inbox, and anything other than the British method for queuing."

When facing a separation, it's important to secure your financial future, and that includes protecting your assets.

Here are some essential steps to follow on your journey to protect your interests during a separation.

✔ Gather documents: Get access to and secure copies of all your financial information.
✔ Determine values: Work out what your interests are worth.
✔ Secure your interests: Safeguard your interests and data, financially, physically, and digitally.
✔ Review your decision-makers and beneficiaries: Think about who you need to provide for and protect both during your lifetime and in the event anything should anything happen to you, and who would be best trusted to look after their interests.
✔ Get advice and make a plan: Seek guidance from family law specialists like Kin Lawyers for expert advice, determining your goals and planning your next steps.

One way to safeguard your assets during a separation is by ensuring you keep - and have and maintain access to - thorough financial records.

Maintain organised files of business financial statements, tax records, bank account statements, investment records, and other financial documents.

Knowing what is in these documents can play a crucial role in ensuring a fair distribution of assets during the separation process.

It's hard to make decisions about what you will receive or ask for in a financial settlement if you don’t know what’s available for division.

Happy final day of the school year 😀

Don't forget to take out the school lunch box from the school bag; we'd hate you to find it again for the start of Term 1 😆

We're hiring!

We are looking for two legal administrative assistants to join our team at our Glenelg and Gawler locations.

Please share if you know of someone:

🟡 Looking for an opportunity to provide great customer service and support a legal team that cares about people and providing services in line with our values of connection, clarity, and growth

🔵 With a warm and approachable personality, coupled with a positive attitude and standout skills

🟢 Who would benefit from work life balance with a nine-day fortnight (further reduced hours may be considered).

See here for further information:

Contact Kin Lawyers | Gawler, Glenelg, Adelaide Contact Kin Lawyers for legal advice about family and relationship law including separation, family enterprise, wills, estates and succession planning

DIY will kits and online templates are readily available, tempting many to consider drafting their wills without legal assistance. Some even copy from a family member's homework document 😳😳

But it's important to know the risks.

Creating a will involves complex legal requirements that vary by state. Without expertise, individuals risk overlooking critical details that could render their wills invalid, or result in an outcome not intended.

But just as important is having the necessary conversations about the hard part of life (and death), reflecting on what it is that you actually want, and what your options (and protections) are.

Working with us will ensure that you have the necessary legal in place to protect your estate and support your wishes.

Better yet, it will give you the comfort of moving from uncertainty to sorted.

How does now sound to start to feel the relief of getting your estate planning in order? Book in at https://t.ly/HjUgf

When going through a challenging time in our lives, like separating from a loved one, it's easy to forget to look after ourselves.
But self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Your well-being matters, and taking time for self-care can help with strength and resilience.
What do you love to do for self-care? Let us know in the comments.

Kin Holiday Closure - our office will be closed from 5pm Friday 15 December 2023 and reopening on Monday 8 January 2024.

And a public service reminder to parents - don't forget the school lunch box from last day of term; we'd hate you to find it again for start of Term 1 😂😂

We're a dedicated team specialising in family law and estate planning, here to provide you with clarity, support, and peace of mind.

We'll keep you updated along with way, ensuring you make informed decisions about your future, including the big picture.
